How you can start profiting from my unique “flat fee” joint venture system today!
Here's the traditional way of doing joint ventures: Someone asks you to promote their offer to your audience … You agree to be paid a certain percentage from the sales of it … You send out an email or two, or put up a few social media posts here and there … Then you...
(Podcast) Why You Should Be Doing “Flat Fee” Joint Ventures
A new episode of Natural Born Coaches has arrived, and today I'm talking about my "flat fee" joint venture model. I've been doing my JVs this way for a few years now, and I share why I think you should consider doing them for your business (along with some tips to...
The Bee Gees and storytelling
This is the story that Robin Gibb from The Bee Gees told when he was asked how the band wrote the song “I Started A Joke”: "The melody to this one was heard aboard a British Airways Vickers Viscount about a hundred miles from Essen. It was one of those old four engine...
The lost art of long-term thinking
Humans are, for the most part, short-sighted creatures. They want everything now, and aren't willing to wait for it. I see it all the time in the coaching world. Sure, plenty of coaches will wait a few weeks or a few months for things to click, but they aren't usually...
Bah humbug to Black Friday sales
I'm not doing a Black Friday sale this year. Come to think of it, I can't recall ever having done one. I guess that makes me the black sheep online, since it seems like every Tom, Dick or Harry does them. Why am I cold on the practice? I don't like playing the game...

I have a tradition where I release a special "Year-End Review" issue of my Secret Coach Club hard copy newsletter every December. It's an opportunity for me to throw open the curtains and show what worked for me over the last year (and perhaps more important, what...
Not your typical “webinar”
Later today I'll be with Tom Matzen as he and his partners, Steve Sipress and Timon Vinke, present their Master Class to show coaches how to get 10 new clients in the next 90 days. These Master Classes are deep-dive, 3 hour ones and not your typical "webinar". Here's...
I see dead … leads
While there's been a lot of talk lately whether dead voters did or didn't vote in the US Presidential election, this is about another kind of "dead" people: Dead leads. Every entrepreneur has a pile of them in their wastebasket. I do too. I've fallen into the trap of...
An all-too-common coach story
A story that I recently heard from a coach: He thought he was doing his clients a favour by charging low enough fees that they could afford him. But all he attracted was the wrong type of client. They didn't appreciate him. They frequently argued with him. They didn't...
